living for the weekends

so last saturday we started a new tradition for our bear cave. we're going to call it... pancake saturday! (so original right?) anyways... i made emma some mickey and minnie mouse pancakes as best as i could and she loved them so much she didn't want to eat them!

i made banana pancakes with cinnamon and sugar for me and blake just on a whim since our bananas were about to go bad and MAN were those jokers good. so good, in fact, that they inspired our new saturday tradition. i don't know about y'all, but i REALLY look forward to saturdays. it's the one day where we know we just all get to be together. and not to mention it's nice to have an extra set of hands on deck with the littles. i mean.. just look at these crazies. emma sure does love her daddy! (i think he's pretty ok too ;) )

this weekend was also father's day weekend! i must say, i think i have the best dad around. he chose to love me and my sister after his biological kids were grown. he started all over for us and my mom and i will be forever grateful for him. he has taught and continues to teach me so much about life, and although we can butt heads more than anyone else i know, i know we are two peas in the same sarcastic pod.

my husband is the best dad to our little bears. he parents with such a Godly heart and attitude. he loves to watch them learn and play. his favorite way to spend his free time is with them (unless it's duck season. KIDDING!) i love that man and the way he looks at our babies so much i think my heart could explode. he is amazing.
so i hope everyone had a great father's day weekend! here are some more snapshots from just hanging around the house and our lunch on sunday!
